Maura Murray saw six doctors after catching a urine infection but none of them
spotted how serious her condition was, leaving her kidneys badly affected by
dehydration.

Maura Murray spoke to six doctors who failed to spot how serious her urine infection was, she eventually had to go to the accident and emergency department of her hospital to be treated.

"We went straight down to the hospital and when we got there, they said I was dehydrated and that my kidneys had been badly effected by the urine infection.

"At the hospital they said, 'why didn't you come in sooner?' So I said 'well we've spoken to six doctors and none of them suggested that we come into hospital'".

The condition refers to a loss of kidney function and can develop very quickly. It can occur in people who are already ill with conditions such as heart failure or diabetes, and those admitted to hospital with infections.
